The Adventures of Thomasina Sawyer


            The wonderfully irascible Alvin, unfogettably portrayed by the great Oscar Nominee Seymour Cassel, correspondingly makes life hell for everyone else around him as a terminally ill widower confined to his hospice bed. Reach for Me explores the age-old quandary of how we greet our final days-- and who will be there with us at the end. This is a stirring, life-affirming drama, with lots of comic relief an an excellent ensemble cast including Oscar Nominee Alfre Woodard and Golden Globe Nominee Adrienne Barbeau. The bright-shining love affair between Alvin's young roomie Kevin and his girlfriend Sarah (played by Johnny Whitworth and Lacey Chabert in beautifully crafted performances refreshingly free of false sentimentality) helps Alvin forgive himself and finally discover love that he never knew was so close at hand.The Story
